Description

As a girl, the chocolate chips on top were my favorite part of Zucchini Bread. I have tried many variations since then and have found this to be the lightest (not to be confused with least-fattening) version! And … notice I still kept the chocolate chips!

Ingredients

2 cupsSugar

1 cupCanola Oil

3 wholeEggs

2 teaspoonsVanilla

3 cupsAll-purpose Flour

1 teaspoonSalt

1 teaspoonBaking Soda

¼ teaspoonsBaking Powder

1 teaspoonGround Cinnamon

2 cupsShredded Zucchini

½ cupsChopped Walnuts

1 teaspoonLemon Zest

½ cupsSemi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Preparation

In a large bowl, beat the sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon in another bowl; stir into the sugar mixture just until moistened. Stir in the zucchini, walnuts, lemon zest and chocolate chips.

Transfer to two greased 8-inch x 4-inch loaf pans. Sprinkle a few chocolate chips on the top of each loaf. Bake at 350°F for 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pans to wire racks to cool completely.
